Businesses Face the Same Problems

What could an accountant possibly know about running a plumbing and heating business?

No doubt that's a question that has crossed your mind.

Well let me explain.

After completing his accountancy training in 2006, Aaron became the finance director of a large plumbing, heating and renewable energy firm. That is where his love of the industry started. In 2011 Aaron started Together We Count. An accountancy firm that specialises in the plumbing and heating industry.

Aaron has encountered hundreds if not thousands of plumbing and heating companies. From start-ups to growing businesses, from failing to succeeding businesses, from sole traders to limited companies, from local to national companies and from zero employees to hundreds.

As Aaron explains in this video, that level of access to so many different businesses has given him an insight into all the peaks and pits of this ever-changing industry.

If you have a problem then there is a very good chance that Together We Count have the knowledge and expertise to guide you, advise you and support you in solving your problems.

Yes, every business is unique, but ultimately a business has a life cycle. You may be halfway through your business cycle. Together We Count have been around that cycle more times than a hamster on a wheel at 2am!
